Knockoff Kinder Eggs - Insulting!

So, I'm a huge fan of Kinder Eggs. And if you aren't familiar, they are chocolate eggs with awesome toys you have to put together inside. I used to have them all the time in Italy and Austria. Unfortunately, American kids are too dumb not to try to eat the plastic container inside. So they are illegal in the US. Which makes me a very sad panda, and parent. Because my child won't experience these awesome things. Now it looks like someone has taken up an attempt to replicate the success and awesome of Kinder Eggs. Unfortunately, they created the Megablocks of Kinder Eggs. They sort of look the same, sort of act the same, but taste like dirt and the toys suck.

Ftfy - just because America has ridiculous lawsuits doesn't mean the majority of American kids are dumb.

Actually the problem isn't that stores won't carry them, it's that the FDA made them illegal. Because they are afraid kids will not realize there's something inside and eat the whole thing, toy and all.

Motherf*cking Iceman, I'm the top gunner. Heater on blast, I'm the number one stunner.

Policy makers trying to parent again? What's next, all meat has to be de-boned before consumption? All foods must be unwrapped at the point of purchase incase people don't realise that you can't eat the food with the wrapper on... Whatever happened to personal responsibility and accountability?

I say let the dumb f*cks eat it, it would just be Darwinism in effect if they're too stupid to realise you don't eat the giant, bright yellow, hard plastic container inside. /rant

It's the mentality that "If something bad has happened to you, someone, somewhere owes you money." To the point where people no longer see things as 'I did something stupid", they see it as "Woohoo! I hit the jackpot!"

It was always upsetting when you got one of those one piece toys with no assembly required. It was lame, I want to put stuff together, dammit!

I beg to differ! Some runs contained collectible figures sets!

When I lived in Moscow, there was this kiosk on my way to work, where one of the salespeople displayed a shelf in the window that held his collection of Kinder Surprise hippos and crocodile figures for sale or exchange. I made countless purchases there to complete my own modest collection and to trade with her.
